Did you read this entire thread carefully?
Post #69 has pictures of two embroidered quilts, the second quilt shows: "
there is a quilt style that uses embroidery AS the quilting."
To me, that method of embroidery is securing the three layers (top, batting, backing) with stitching and it does qualify as Quilting. Do you really think that this style is a "design ON the blocks" and not quilting?
